Overview

The ABB 18RA-8CP Vinyl-Insulated Ring Terminal (SKU 18RA-8CP) is a copper ring terminal with tin plating, designed for secure electrical connections in industrial and commercial wiring systems. The terminal features a #8 bolt hole and accommodates wire sizes from #22 to #18 AWG, making it compatible with common control and power wiring applications. The 0.97-inch length and 0.31-inch width provide a compact footprint while the 0.150-inch maximum insulation ensures reliable strain relief and insulation integrity. The red vinyl insulation enhances visibility and color-coding in wiring harnesses, reducing installation errors and improving maintenance efficiency. Tin-plated copper construction delivers corrosion resistance and stable conductivity, ideal for environments exposed to moisture or chemicals. Packaged in a mini-pack for easy stocking and quick access, this terminal is suitable for panel wiring, motor connections, and control cabinet assemblies where secure, insulated terminations are required. The UNSPSC code 39121432 classifies it as a ring-type electrical terminal, manufactured in the USA by ABB Installation Products.
